Chapter 998: Chapter 899: Time to Quicken Our Pace

Nova said that Wang Ye’s trip to Crimea was for work, which wasn’t exactly a lie.

After all, Wang Ye would definitely discuss the Crimea Investment company’s operations with Angelina and understand the development of Crimea over the past year.

He would also take the opportunity to meet with Crimea’s "nominal president" to offer some reassurance.

Oh, and he had to talk to Natalia about Crimea’s legal and law enforcement situation, considering she was the Prosecutor General!

You could say his schedule was packed.

But Nova would never reveal on Facebook the relationship between her boss and her sister, let alone admit she was actually the boss’s sister-in-law...

She never even disclosed who her boss actually was on the internet.

She understood the basic principles of confidentiality, and she always acted with discretion.

Wang Ye didn’t even know that Nova had become a small "internet celebrity" on Facebook with hundreds of thousands of followers!

Naturally beautiful, though she always wore sunglasses in her photos, it was still clear that she was very attractive with a great figure.

Plus, she occasionally showed off her top-notch cosmetics, Vertu phones, Patek Philippe watches, luxury brand clothing, Porsche sports car, high-end apartments in the center of Moscow city...

If it had been just for these, she might not have had so many followers, since there were plenty of people flaunting their wealth on Facebook.

Some oligarchs’ sons and daughters led even more luxurious lives; compared to them, Nova’s display was nothing.

But Nova had her own unique appeal, as she also had the identity of a "high-knowledge elite" and "finance expert."

She would occasionally comment on national policies and economic situations, and on less sensitive issues, she even made her own "predictions."

As it turned out, several of her forecasts were highly accurate, especially when the government’s finance budget was submitted to the Duma at the end of last year. At that time, this topic was also hot on Facebook, with many people commenting, although the mainstream view was supportive.

Back then, under Kasianov’s administration, the government’s financial policies were known for their conservatism and steadiness.

Under such policy style, the government’s finance revenue had been rising year after year, and debts were continuously decreasing—the majority of the public had quite a high opinion of Kasianov.

But at that time, Nova commented that the government’s finance budget was too conservative, predicting that Deputy Speaker Mikhail, who was in charge of economic affairs in the Duma, would suggest a more aggressive approach—namely, a substantial increase in the finance budget.

Back then, Nova didn’t have many followers, not even ten thousand.

However, her comment created quite a stir on Facebook, with many people disagreeing with her and calling it nonsense.

Not to mention that the government under Kasianov had always had this style, and there was no precedent for the Duma to reject a government budget plan. It was even more implausible for the Duma to lead the government’s finance budget for the new year.

What happened later surprised everyone.

Because the Duma really did send back the government’s submitted finance budget and actually proposed a plan that seemed very aggressive to everyone, significantly increasing budget expenditures!

They even initiated the widely known "Great Fund" plan!

This made Nova "famous in one battle," setting her apart from those rich kids on Facebook who only knew how to show off their wealth.

Her number of followers began to skyrocket, and now she had several hundreds of thousands of them.

Don’t think this number isn’t impressive. Keep in mind that this was in 2004, and it was on the Russian internet!

Her followers were all genuine "living people," with none of those so-called zombie fans...

......

As soon as Nova posted new content on Facebook and refreshed the page, there were already many fans leaving her messages.

"Wow! Is this on a plane? Which airline’s plane is so luxurious, could this be the legendary first class cabin?"

"The one above clearly hasn’t seen much, though first class isn’t bad, it’s incomparable to this. This must be a private jet!"

"Tsk, tsk, I was wondering how Nova could be so capable, knowing so much—turns out she really works for a big boss."

"Let’s guess who Nova’s boss is. I’ll start—could it be Khodorkovsky?"...

Just as Nova expected, the lavish decor of the private jet immediately caught many people’s eyes, leading to much discussion.

As for guesses about who her boss was, Nova never answered them.

Although she used the name Nova online, it was important to note that this was just a nickname; it wasn’t her real name.

Besides, in countries like Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, there must be at least five million, if not three million, girls named Nova...

Nova was still sneakily chuckling while reading the comments when suddenly she heard Wang Ye’s voice at her side.

"What are you looking at, you can’t seem to stop laughing."

Startled, she quickly looked up, only to see Wang Ye leaning over to look at her laptop screen.

It was too late to close the laptop now; besides, doing so would have seemed guilty...

She could only give an awkward smile and say, "Ah... Boss, I was browsing Facebook."

Wang Ye didn’t ask what she was looking at, but rather asked eagerly, "I saw the reports sent over from Facebook, our business has been growing rapidly this year. And we’ve even started subsidiaries in Europe and the United States. But just looking at the data isn’t enough. I don’t have much time to surf the net usually, but you young women do. Tell me, how is Facebook really doing now, is it truly popular among young people?"
